The following is from the Roeser reference:
«i»Joshua Monroe entered the service of the United States in New London, CT on 1 Jan 1780. He enlisted to serve in the navel service on board the Continental Frigate Trumball carrying 24- 12 Pounders and 8-6 Pounders, commanded by Captain James Nickerson, John Mailering, 1st Lieutenant, Jacob White, 2d Lieutenant, Daniel Star, 3d Lieutenant, David Bill, 4th Lieutenant, Gilbert Solderstill Captain of Marines, Samuel Hand, sailing master, Alexander Piggins, Adam Preroder, Jasper Giffing, 1st mates with a crew of 162.
On the first day of May 1780, the Trumball sailed from New London on a blockading voyage against the British. They sailed south and east of the Bahama Islands. On the first day of June, and at a latitude of about 30 degrees, southeast of the Bahamas we fell in with the Birtish ship Watt of Liverpool carrying 36 guns. The engagement lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes, 42 men of the Trumball were killed or wounded. Joshua Sisis and David Bill were killed and Brad Lesset, David Star and Alexander Aocament were wounded. The Watt withdrew and the Trumball being very much injured was unable to give her chase.
The next morning we started back for Boston, the ports of Philadelphia and New York being in British hands. We arrived in Boston the latter part of June. When the frigate was repaired and loaded with artillery stored for the army, we sailed in September from Boston for Philadelphia where we deposited our load. The Trumball then went on sailing in the company of Continental Frigate Delim off the east coast of the states, guarding the coastline until the last of December 1780 when she returned to Philadelphia where Joshua left the frigate on the 1st of january 1781 and went on board the ship Morning Star sailing to New London where he completed his one year enlistment.
He lived in New London for sixteen years. (Extract from pension application). June 25 1773 Joshua's Grandfather John was appointed guardian in the New London Probate Court. Joshua and Sarah left New London about 1799 and settled in Otsego County NY. Going with them were Susannah Maples Ranson and her husband and David Maples and his wife Lois.
Joshua sold Property of his wife in Montville CT, 17 March 1800. Joshua was listed as head of household in the 1800 Otsego County Federal census. 15 Oct 1800 Joshua purchased property from William Cooper. On 8 September 1812 Joshua sold the same parcel to Robert Bourne for $1800. The same day Joshua purchased a 600 acre parcel in Tioga County New York from Robert Bourn, for $2400, Witnesses: George Bourn, George Bourne Jr., and Joshua Monroe Jr. On 2 Jun 1814 Joshua sold 120 acres of this land to his son David. Witnesses: David Fairchild, Sinson Fairchild. On 17 May 1816 Joshua sold 100 acres of this land to his son Joshua. Witnesses: David Monroe and his wife Polly Monroe.
Joshua made a will in Tioga County NY, 19 March 1841 which was probated 6 March 1848. In the probate file his heirs were identified as Belinda Gillet, wife of Archippus Gillet of Evansville, IN; David Monroe of Seneca County NY; Pardon Monroe of Barton, and the seven children of the deceased Joshua Monroe, son of the testator. The names of Oliver Monroe and Edwin Monroe were the only ones known to the court; they lived in Vanderburgh County IN.«/i»
